Recent scientific research on the Mediterranean indicates that climate
change will exacerbate many of the area’s existing problems, including
desertification, water scarcity and limits to food production. Changes
in weather patterns and average temperatures are also likely to
introduce new threats to human health and natural ecosystems. The
authors in this significant new book identify the possible impacts and
scenarios, and then define practical strategies for adapting to, and
mitigating, the effects of climate change from an integrated
socio-economic perspective.
